PREFACE. 


The  "Genealogy  of  the  Descendants  of  Solomon  Peirce  of  Lex- 
ington" is  the  outcome  of  a  desire  to  trace  the  lineage  and  per- 
petuate the  memory  of  our  ancestor  who  took  part  in  the  Revolu- 
tionary War.  The  first  inspiration  to  undertake  this  work  was 
received  from  a  conversation  held  in  1900  with  Mrs.  Amanda 
Peirce  Morton,  a  grand-daughter  of  Solomon  Peirce,  whose  per- 
sonal reminiscences  started  the  interest  which  finally  resulted  in 
the  erection  of  a  monument  over  his  unmarked  grave.  From  the 
first  reunion  of  the  family,  on  the  occasion  of  the  dedication  of  this 
monument,  the  interest  increased,  and  this  record,  undertaken 
without  any  thought  of  publication,  is  the  result. 

As  time  went  on,  new  members  of  the  family  were  discovered. 
Three  grand-daughters  have  been  traced  who  could  remember 
interesting  incidents  connected  with  the  life  of  Solomon  Peirce, 
one  of  whom  is  still  with  us,  aged  ninety-two,  and  many  relics 
are  still  preserved  by  his  descendants. 

In  response  to  the  request  of  relatives  I  have  finally  under- 
taken to  publish  the  record. 

It  has  been  a  pleasant  but  also  a  long  task,  partly  owing  to 
delay  in  answering  letters  of  inquiry  or  sending  in  family  records, 
and  in  many  instances  it  has  taken  much  inquiry  and  corre- 
spondence to  locate  family  branches.  There  have  been  many 
interested  helpers,  among  whom  it  gives  me  great  pleasure  to 
mention  the  names  of  those  who  have  aided  materially  in  this 
work.  Miss  Emeline  Dillaway  Fish  has  given  valuable  in- 
formation of  her  own  branch  (Amity  Peirce),  which  must  have 
been  lost  except  for  her  diligent  researches,  besides  aiding  in  many 
other  ways. 

Mr.  Herbert  Francis  Dam,  of  San  Francisco  (of  the  sixth  gen- 


VI  PREFACE 

eration  from  Solomon  Peirce),  contributed  a  large  part  of  the 
data  for  the  Appendix,  and  also  the  charts. 

Prof.  Arthur  Winslow  Peirce  (of  the  fifth  generation)  looked 
up  the  military  record  of  Solomon  Peirce,  from  the  Massachu- 
setts Archives,  on  the  occasion  of  erecting  and  dedicating  a 
monument  to  his  memory. 

Thanks  are  due  to  all  who  have  in  any  way  contributed  to  make 
the  record  a  success.  Many  dates  have  been  taken  from  town 
records  and  graveyards,  but,  with  all  care  and  time  bestowed, 
many  omissions  and  mistakes  will  occur,  which,  it  is  hoped,  will  be 
pardoned. 

Children's  children  are  the  crown  of  old  men;  and  the  glory  of  children 
are  their  fathers. — Pkov.  xvii.  6.

THE  PEIRCE   COAT-OF-ARMS. 

[Part  of  an  address  by  Prof.  Arthur  W.  Peirce  at  1911  Peirce  Reunion.] 


The  Peirce  coat-of-arms  is  used  as  a  family  insignia,  but  it 
does  not  imply  that  we  are  descended  from  the  nobility  of  Eng- 
land. A  coat-of-arms  was  originally  a  coat  of  linen  worn  over  the 
armor,  on  which  were  embroidered  or  painted  certain  emblems  or 
signs  to  indicate  the  name  and  position  of  the  man  inside,  as  his 
face  and  head  were  entirely  covered  by  the  helmet.  Thus  his 
followers  might  know  their  leader  in  battle.  The  device  was  often 
emblazoned  on  the  shield  also,  so  that  now  the  shield  is  an  essen- 
tial part  of  the  insignia. 

In  a  coat-of-arms  there  are  several  parts,  some  of  them  neces- 
sary, others  omitted  at  the  option  of  the  owner.  Originally,  all 
used  the  shield,  and  above  it  the  helmet.  As  cloth  was  hung  from 
the  helmet  to  protect  the  armor  from  rain  and  rust,  in  the  her- 
aldic device  this  has  become  a  scroll  work,  called  a  "mantling." 
Above  this  was  a  wreath,  which  has  become  conventionalized  into 
a  mere  straight  bar  over  the  helmet,  on  which  is  borne  the  crest. 
The  shield  is  of  the  first  importance  in  the  scheme.  It  is  a  colored 
background,  termed  the  "field,"  on  which  is  placed  some  device 
called  the  "charges."  On  the  Peirce  shield  the  charges  are  three 
ravens.  The  crest  was  added  for  ornament,  being  usually  an 
animal  or  a  head.  The  motto  is  not  essential,  and  its  position  is 
a  matter  of  taste. 

In  the  Peirce  coat-of-arms  the  ravens  are  "sable,"  or  black,  and 
the  parallel  lines  on  the  bar  across  the  shield  indicate  "gules," 
or  red.  Thus  it  is  described  technically  as  "arms  argent,  three 
ravens  rising  sable,"  which  means  a  silver  background  and  three 
black  ravens  with  wings  spread  as  if  for  rising.  The  "fesse"  is 
the  name  given  to  the  bar  on  the  shield,  and  "humette"  means 


vm  THE    PEIRCE    COAT-OF-ARMS 

the  bar  is  cut  oflf,  and  does  not  extend  to  the  sides  of  the  shield. 
The  Peirce  coat-of-arms  has  a  "fesse  humette,"  colored  red.  The 
crest  is  a  dove  with  green  olive  branch  in  its  beak.  The  bar  on 
which  the  dove  stands  is  developed  from  the  ancient  wreath  which 
surrounded  the  helmet.  Many  coats-of-arms  are  printed  without 
the  helmet.  The  Peirce  motto  is  in  Latin,  "Dixit  et  Fecit,"  mean- 
ing, "He  said  and  he  did." 


The  following  explanations  will  enable  the  reader  to  under-

SOLOMON  PEIRCE  BRANCH. 


FIRST   GENERATION. 

1.  Solomon  Peirce  was  born  in  Lexington,  Mass.,  June 
15,  1742,  the  sixth  child  of  Jonas  and  Abigail  (Comee)  Peirce. 
He  was  a  descendant  in  the  sixth  generation  of  "John  Pers, 
of  Nowch"  (Norwich),  England,  who  settled  in  Watertown 
1637. 

Solomon  Peirce  married,  Dec.  15,  1763,  Amity  Fessenden, 
born  in  Lexington,  June  15,  1743. 

The  year  following  his  marriage  he  paid  his  father,  Jonas  Peirce, 
seventy  pounds  for  fourteen  acres  of  land.  In  1765  he  bought  of 
B.  Smith  four  acres  adjoining.  In  1783  he  bought  of  E.  Munroe 
et  al.  seven  acres  adjoining.  In  1783  he  bought  of  Jonas  Peirce 
forty  acres  adjoining  the  fourteen  acres,  being  the  same  land 
bought  by  Jonas  Peirce  of  Joseph  White  in  1731.  In  1783  he 
bought  of  Ezekiel  Hall  thirty  acres  adjoining  the  above  described 
fourteen,  making  a  total  of  ninety -five  acres.  The  deeds  record 
him  a  cordwainer  (or  shoemaker),  and  he  was  also  a  farmer. 
This  appears  to  have  been  his  home  and  the  place  where  his 
eleven  children  were  born. 

The  walls  of  the  cellar  may  still  be  seen,  bordered  by  a  row  of 
trees  which  he  probably  planted. 

From  the  Lexington  Town  Records  we  find  that  Solomon 
Peirce  was  surveyor  of  highways  in  1772. 

He  was  enrolled  in  the  Lexington  company  of  minute-men, 
commanded  by  his  neighbor  Captain  Parker,  and  started  forth 
with  him  on  that  memorable  morning  of  April  19,  1775.  He  was 
wounded  in  the  battle  of  Lexington,  but  was  able  to  rejoin  his 
company,  and  was  on  duty  at  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill,  June  17 
and  18,  1775.     He  served  five  days,  March  4-8,  1776,  at  Dorches- 


9  ;.■.,'. '      DESCENDANTS  OF  SOLOMON  PEIRCE 

ter  Heights,  as  a  member  of  John  Bridge's  Lexington  company. 
In  the  campaign  against  Burgoyne,  1777,  he  was  a  sergeant  in  a 
Concord  company  of  Col.  Samuel  Ballard's  regiment,  under 
Capt.  George  Minott,  serving  from  August  16  to  November  30. 
From  Massachusetts  Archives  it  is  stated  that  he  travelled  two 
hundred  and  twenty  miles  in  eleven  days,  and  was  paid  nine 
pounds,  eleven  shillings,  and  eight  pence  for  service.  June  7, 
1780,  he  was  commissioned  first  lieutenant  of  Capt.  William 
Munroe's  company,  under  command  of  Col.  Francis  Faulkner. 
After  the  war  closed,  he  was  made  captain,  July  25,  1784,  of  this 
company,  then  made  a  part  of  the  State  Militia  under  the  com- 
mand of  Col.  Samuel  Lamson,  of  Weston.  He  resigned  his  com- 
mission and  retired  from  the  service,  April  23,  1785. 

The  war  was  followed  by  financial  reverses,  and  in  November, 
1784,  Capt.  Solomon  Peirce  sold  his  farm  of  ninety -five  acres, 
with  mansion  house  and  barn,  to  Joseph  Underwood,  of  Lexing- 
ton, in  consideration  of  the  sum  of  three  hundred  eighty  pounds. 
This  estate  remained  in  the  Underwood  family  until  about  1865, 
and  was  then  conveyed  to  Mrs.  Bryant. 

Solomon  Peirce  appears  to  have  remained  in  Lexington  until 
1788,  when  his  name  and  that  of  his  wife.  Amity  Peirce,  are  en- 
rolled as  members  of  the  second  precinct  church  in  Cambridge 
(now  Arlington),  June  15,  1788.  At  this  time  his  residence  was 
changed  from  Lexington  to  West  Cambridge  (now  Arlington 
Heights),  in  the  so-called  Amos  Russell  house,  which  is  still  stand- 
ing, improved  and  owned  by  Walter  K.  Hutchinson.  At  this  time 
it  was  owned  by  his  eldest  son,  Jonas  Peirce,  who  later  sold  it  to 
Amos  Russell,  husband  of  his  sister  Betsey  Peirce. 

In  March,  1803,  Jonas  Peirce  bought  an  adjoining  farm,  in- 
cluding a  mansion  house  with  a  smaller  house  and  barn,  and  he 
brought  his  father  and  mother  to  occupy  the  smaller  house  in  their 
declining  years. 

Amity  Peirce  died  Feb.  18,  1811,  aged  sixty-eight.  After  her 
death  Solomon  Peirce  lived  with  his  son  Jonas,  and  died  Oct. 
16,  1821,  aged  seventy-nine.  Both  were  buried  in  the  old  ceme- 
ter3%  Arlington,  and  in  1903  a  substantial  monument  was  erected 
by  contributions  from  two  hundred  and  twenty  descendants  of 
our  honored  ancestors.

Jan.  2,  1786,  son  of  Solomon  Peirce  and  Amity  (Fessenden)  Peirce; 
m.  first,  1808,  Elizabeth  Floyd,  b.  in  Maiden,  Mass.,  1778,  d.

aged  ninety-two. 

William  Peirce  lived  in  Medford,  where  his  two  eldest  children 
were  born.  In  1813  he  bought  a  farm  in  Maiden,  consisting 
of  about  one  hundred  acres,  for  which  he  paid  less  than  five 
thousand  dollars.  Afterward  he  added  to  this  farm  land  ex- 
tending from  Maiden  River  to  the  top  of  Belmont  Hill,  situated 
in  the  southerly  part  of  Maiden,  now  Everett.  The  house  on 
this  farm  was  located  on  Main  Street,  and  is  still  standing.  Five 
children  were  born  in  this  house.  In  1840  he  built  a  large  house, 
of  semi-colonial  style  of  architecture,  in  which  he  lived  thirty- 
eight  years. 

William  Peirce  was  called  a  very  modest  man.  When,  at 
eighty -five  years  of  age,  his  picture  was  thrown  on  a  screen  at  a 
public  gathering,  he  turned  to  his  wife,  and  asked  who  it  was. 
She  replied,  "You  have  not  looked  in  the  glass,  or  you  would 
know." 


SECOND    GENERATION  9^ 

To  the  end  of  his  long  life  he  was  bright,  quick,  and  humorous. 
When  he  was  ninety  years  old,  he  had  a  birthday  party  of  his 
children  and  grandchildren.  He  was  presented  with  an  easy- 
chair  which  had  been  made  to  order,  as  he  was  a  short  man. 
When  seated  in  this  chair,  he  sat  upright,  and  his  son-in-law 
said,  "Sit  back,  father,  and  lay  your  head  back."  He  replied, 
"I  can  hold  my  head  up  as  well  as  I  ever  could." 

At  the  time  of  his  last  sickness,  having  need  of  the  services  of 
a  barber,  he  looked  at  him,  and  said,  "This  is  the  first  time  I 
ever  was  shaved." 

Children: — 

i.  Eliza  A.,  b.  March  1,  1809;  m.  Feb.  7,  1837,  William 
Baldwin,  b.  Sept.  10,  1808,  d.  Oct.  29,  1851.  She  d. 
Oct.  27,  1887.  There  is  preserved  a  book  of  her  beauti- 
ful penmanship  and  drawing,  when  a  child.  When 
calico  was  fifty  cents  a  yard,  she  remarked,  "Now  lean, 
have  a  dress,  apron,  cape,  and  tire  all  alike."

THIRD  GENERATION  18 

20.  George^  Peirce  (Jonas^,  Solomon^),  b.  in  Woburn,  Mass.^ 
Aug.  18,  1796,  son  of  Jonas  Peirce  and  Lydia  (Prentiss)  Peirce; 
m.  March  29,  1819,  Harriet  Russell,  b.  in  West  Cambridge,  Mass., 
June  28,  1799,  d.  Dec.  28,  1882.  He  d.  in  West  Cambridge, 
July  1,  1875.  They  resided  in  Chariest© wn,  Mass.,  and  in  West 
Cambridge.  George  Peirce  was  successfully  engaged  in  market 
gardening  and  fruit  growing,  first  in  Charlestown,  and  later  on 
land  now  situated  between  the  Squire  estate  and  Linwood  Street, 
Arlington. 

On  this  farm  he  made  his  home,  and  was  the  first  farmer  in  the 
vicinity  to  raise  vegetables  under  glass.  He  also  was  the  first 
to  cultivate  tomatoes  for  the  market  from  seed  procured  from 
France  by  his  friend  President  Walker,  of  Harvard  College,  and 
the  first  to  raise  dandelions  under  glass.  His  greatest  success 
was  in  growing  apples,  and  he  was  the  first  to  introduce  Williams 
apples  in  the  Boston  market.  He  lived  to  realize  twelve  hun- 
dred dollars  annually  from  forty  trees  which  he  set  out.  The 
following  was  taken  from  the  Bunker  Hill  Aurora:  "Capt.  Peirce 
of  West  Cambridge  sold  24  barrels  of  Williams  apples  from  four 
trees  for  over  $100." 

He  sent  a  barrel  of  Baldwin  apples  to  England,  which  sold  there 
for  twelve  and  one-half  cents  apiece,  at  a  time  when  they  were 
selling  in  Boston  for  from  four  to  six  dollars  a  barrel. 

In  1820  George  Peirce  was  chosen  captain  of  a  company  of 
State  Militia  and  duly  commissioned  by  Governor  Eustis. 

Although  he  had  no  sons,  he  lived  to  have  three  grandsons 
serve  in  the  Civil  War.

Oliver  Ditson  began  business  as  a  music  dealer  in  Boston  at  the 
age  of  twenty -eight.  He  occupied  a  building  on  Washington 
Street,  afterward  used  as  the  Herald  Building.  The  bulk  of  the 
music  business  at  that  time  was  handled  in  New  York,  and  con- 
sisted chiefly  of  songs  made  popular  on  the  concert  stage.  Music 
was  published  at  that  time  in  single  sheets,  without  a  cover, 
printed  on  both  back  and  front,  and  sold  one  page  for  five  cents, 
two  for  ten  cents,  three  for  fifteen,  and  four  for  twenty  cents. 
Later  on  these  same  songs  were  reprinted  with  title  covers, 
price  twenty-five  to  forty  cents.  One  of  the  early  songs  brought 
out  by  Oliver  Ditson  was  "Lily  Dale,"  by  H.  S.  Thompson.  It 
proved  very  popular  until  the  sales  exceeded  one  hundred  thou- 
sand copies. 

Music  was  introduced  in  the  Boston  schools  about  1842.  The 
demand  for  octavo  music  commenced  in  the  seventies,  and  has 
been  an  important  feature  in  the  music  trade. 

The  World's  Peace  Jubilee,  a  great  musical  festival,  was  held  in 


THIRD  GENERATION  25 

Boston  in  1869.  Patrick  Gilmore,  the  great  bandmaster,  was  its 
leader.  A  notable  feature  was  the  bringing  out  of  many  great 
oratorios  and  other  choruses.  Much  interest  was  shown  in  the 
rendering  of  the  "Anvil  Chorus"  accompanied  by  military  bands 
and  real  anvils.  Oliver  Ditson  published  in  octavo  form  all  the 
different  songs  and  music  used  for  that  occasion. 

When  Oliver  Ditson  first  started  in  business,  he  employed  one 
clerk  and  a  boy  to  open  and  sweep  out  the  shop,  make  the  fires, 
and  run  errands.  The  boy's  wages  were  $1.50  per  week  the  first 
year,  $2  the  second  year,  and  $3  the  third  year,  and  the  hours  of 
this  store  were  from  7  a.m.  to  8  p.m.  The  boy  gradually  worked 
into  a  position  of  responsibility,  "got  out  orders,  and  had  the  care 
of  the  books."  At  the  age  of  twenty-one  he  was  given  an  interest 
in  the  business,  and  at  the  age  of  twenty-seven  John  C.  Haynes, 
who  went  to  work  as  boy  for  Oliver  Ditson,  was  made  a  regular 
partner  of  the  firm,  which  then  became  Oliver  Ditson  &  Co. 

John  C.  Haynes,  in  writing  of  the  kind  heart  and  generosity  of 
his  employer,  relates  the  following:  "I  had  been  accustomed, 
like  most  boys,  to  enjoy  playing  after  school.  A  few  weeks  after 
I  went  to  work  at  the  store  Mr.  Loring  Lothrop  asked  me,  'How 
do  you  like  your  new  position?'  'I  like  Mr.  Ditson  and  like  the 
business,  but  I  would  like  to  have  shorter  hours  for  work  and  more 
time  for  play.'  'I  will  see  to  that,  John,'  answered  Mr.  Loring. 
Some  days  later  Mr.  Ditson  said  to  me, '  We  like  you,  and  hope  you 
won't  leave  us,'  and  he  put  a  $5  gold  piece  in  my  hand.  That 
settled  it.  I  felt  as  if  I  was  a  part  of  the  music  business  of  Oliver 
Ditson.  One  day  I  wanted  to  get  off  and  go  fishing.  I  trembled 
as  I  asked  Mr.  Ditson  if  I  could  go,  and  told  him  I  would  come  to 
open  and  close  the  shop.  He  responded  with  a  smile,  'John,  go 
by  all  means.'  He  put  another  $5  gold  piece  in  my  hand,  sending 
me  off  as  proud  and  happy  as  if  I  owned  the  establishment." 

The  Oliver  Ditson  Company  organized  as  a  corporation  in  1889 
with  John  C.  Haynes  as  president  and  Charles  H.  Ditson  (eldest 
son  of  Oliver  Ditson)  as  treasurer,  with  a  large  store  in  Boston 
and  a  branch  store  in  New  York  City  in  charge  of  Charles  H. 
Ditson. 

Ten  years  later,  in  1899,  Oliver  Ditson  died,  but  the  music 
business  is  carried  on  by  his  son  under  the  old  name.     It  was  said 


26  DESCENDANTS  OF  SOLOMON  PEIRCE 

that  few  men  were  more  devoted  to  their  life-work  than  Oliver 
Ditson. 

The  following  story  has  been  handed  down.  When  Mr.  Ditson 
was  a  young  man,  he  attended  a  church  supper  and  was  asked  to 
say  grace.  After  speaking  for  some  time,  he  concluded  by  saying, 
"Yours  truly,  Oliver  Ditson." 

He  was  a  modest  letter- writer,  noted  for  the  brevity  of  his  letters, 
and  "Yours  truly,  Oliver  Ditson,"  had  become  almost  a  household 
word.  On  the  piano,  in  the  music -rack,  as  well  as  in  the  hearts  and 
affections  of  the  music-lovers  of  America,  "Yours  truly,  Oliver 
Ditson,"  has  left  an  imprint  that  endures  in  the  glow  and  warmth 
of  the  American  hearthstone.

Francis  Gould  graduated  with  honor  from  the  English  High 
School  in  Boston,  and  became  a  civil  engineer  and  solicitor  of 
patents  in  Boston,  taking  up  his  residence  in  West  Cambridge, 
Mass.  When  the  Civil  War  broke  out  in  1861,  he  promptly 
enlisted  in  the  company  formed  in  West  Cambridge  which  joined 
the  40th  New  York  Volunteers,  the  famous  Mozart  Regiment. 
In  this  regiment  he  served  during  the  Peninsular  and  Pope  cam- 
paigns, was  in  the  battles  of  Williamsburg,  Fair  Oaks,  Glendale, 
Malvern  Hill,  Gainesville,  Bull  Run  2d,  and  Chantilly.  At 
Chantilly  he  was  shot  in  the  knee,  and  disabled  from  further 
service.     Was  honorably  discharged  Jan,  10,  1863, 

He  had  become  first  lieutenant,  and  for  a  considerable  time  was 
acting  as  captain  of  the  company.  His  colonel  said,  "His  entire 
service  as  an  officer  was  marked  by  ability,  strict  attention  to 
duty,  and  distinguished  gallantry."  Major-general  Birney  char- 
acterized him  as  "a  most  gallant  and  efficient  officer." 

Soon  after  leaving  the  army,  Francis  Gould  resumed  business 
as  patent  solicitor,  in  partnership  with  Mr.  J.  F.  Crosby  in  Boston. 
But  the  wound  of  Chantilly  proved  a  fatal  one.  The  ball  had 
remained  in  the  knee,  and  was  finally  the  cause  of  his  death  from 
lead  poison  after  months  of  suffering  and  pain.

ANCESTRY    OF    SOLOMON    PEIRCE    AND    HIS  WIFE, 
AMITY  FESSENDEN. 

John  Pers,  of  Norwich,  Norfolk  County,  England,  weaver, 
emigrated  to  this  country  in  the  year  1637,  bringing  with  him 
his  wife  Elizabeth and  four  children. 

He  came  to  New  England  in  either  the  "John  and  Dorothy," 
of  Norwich,  or  the  "Rose,"  of  Yarmouth.  From  Savage's  New 
England  History  is  found  the  following  extract  from  a  register  of 
certain  emigrants  to  New  England,  preserved  in  the  English 
Exchequer:  "April  the  8th  1637,  The  examination  of  John  Pers 
of  Nowch  in  Noff.  [Norwich  in  Norfolk]  weaver  aged  49  yeares 
and  Elizabeth  his  wife  aged  36  yeares  with  4  children  John,  Barbre, 
Elizabeth  and  Judeth  and  one  sarvant  John  Gedney  aged  19  yeares 
are  desirous  to  passe  to  Boston  in  New  England  to  inhabitt." 

Both  Bond  and  Savage  agree  in  identifying  this  John  Pers 
with  John  Pers,  of  Watertown.  It  is  probable  that  these  four 
children  were  the  youngest  of  the  family,  and  that  some  of  his 
family  settled  here  before  the  father  came.  John  Pers  was  grantee 
of  one  lot  in  Watertown  and  purchaser  of  three  lots  before  1644, 
one  of  which  was  his  homestall  of  twelve  acres,  being  the  land 
bounded  north  by  Belmont  Street,  south  by  R.  Beach,  west  by

Cambridge,  daughter  of  Francis  Kendall,  of  Woburn,  and  widow  of 
Ephraim  Winship,  of  Cambridge,  b.  in  Woburn,  Jan.  15,  1652. 
Dec.  22,  1713,  Elizabeth  Peirce,  of  Watertown,  widow,  and  Jacob 
Peirce,  of  Weston  (a  son),  admitted  to  administer  estate  of  Joseph 
Peirce,  late  of  Watertown,  deceased,  intestate,  giving  bonds  of 
£400  with  Joseph  Sherman,  of  Watertown,  and  Joseph  Peirce, 
of  Lexington.  Inventory,  £316-10-0.  Elizabeth,  widow  of 
Joseph  Peirce,  rendered  her  account  as  administrator  of  estate  of 
Ephraim  Winship  June  23,  1701.  Joseph  was  admitted  freeman 
April  18,  1690.  They  resided  in  Watertown.  Joseph  had  ten 
children,  all  by  first  wife,  Martha.  Joseph  Peirce  was  under 
Captains  Henchman,  Parker,  and  Sill  in  King  Philip's  War  (So- 
ciety Colonial  Wars,  1902,  p.  732). 

4.  John  Peirce,  third  child  of  Joseph  and  Martha  Peirce,  b. 
in  Watertown,  May  27,  1673;  m.  Nov.  5,  1702,  Elizabeth  Smith, 
b.  Jan.  15,  1673,  daughter  of  Daniel  Smith,  Jr.,  and  Mary  (Grant)

They  also  resided  in  Waltham.     They  had  seven  children.

Pierce,  b.  in  Watertown,  Dec.  20,  1705;  m.  Jan.  4,  1727-8, 
Abigail  Comee,  daughter  of  John  Comee  and  Martha  (Munroe) 
Comee.  She  was  baptized  in  Cambridge  Farms,  now  Lexington, 
Oct.  26,  1707.     They  had  eight  children. 

Jan.  10,  1731,  Jonas  Peirce,  of  Lexington,  cordwainer,  purchased 
of  Joseph  White  forty  acres  of  land  for  £200.  This  was  the  first 
tract  of  land  owned  by  the  Peirce  family  in  Lexington,  which  later 
became  the  home  of  Solomon  Peirce.  This  tract  of  land  is  a 
portion  of  the  farm  known  as  the  "Bryant  Place,"  on  Concord 
Avenue,  being  the  estate  west  of  the  Kite  End  School-house.  In 
1749  Jonas  Peirce  purchased  fourteen  acres  of  adjoining  land  of 
Joshua  Warren,  of  Waltham,  for  £500,  old  tenor. 

Smith. — John  Smith,  Sr.,  is  found  as  one  of  the  proprietors  of 
Watertown  in  1636-7.  It  is  found  that  he  was  taxed  for  the 
support  of  preaching  at  Cambridge  Farms,  now  Lexington.  So 
it  seems  probable  he  moved  there  from  Watertown. 


APPENDIX  155 

Isabella,  wife  of  John  Smith,  d.  Oct.  12,  1639,  aged  sixty  years. 
It  is  probable  that  John  and  Isabella  were  the  parents  of  Daniel 
Smith,  who  m.  Elizabeth  Rogers,  daughter  of  Thomas  and  Grace 
Coolidge  Rogers  (Colonial  Records,  vol.  iv.  p.  232).  Daniel 
Smith's  will,  dated  July  14,  1660,  the  day  he  died,  mentions  wife 
Elizabeth,  son  Daniel,  and  brother  Abraham. 

By  his  will  and  the  town  records  it  is  probable  he  had  only  one 
child,  Daniel  Smith,  Jr.,  b.  in  Watertown,  Sept.  27,  1642.  He 
m.  Feb.  22,  1667-8,  Mary  Grant,  daughter  of  Christopher  and 
Mary  Grant.  He  d.  June  7,  1681.  His  will,  dated  May  30, 
1681,  mentions  only  his  wife  and  three  sons.  Inventory,  £154. 
They  had  eight  children.  The  fourth  child,  Elizabeth  Smith,  b. 
Jan.  15,  1673-4;   m.  Nov.  5,  1702,  John  Peirce. 

Rogers. — Thomas  Rogers,  proprietor  in  Watertown,  1636-7;

who  m.  Daniel  Smith,  son  of  John  and  Isabella  Smith. 

Coolidge. — Grace  Coolidge,  widow  of  Thomas  Rogers,  m. 
second  William  Palmer,  "a  townsman  inhabiting"  Watertown 
1636-7;  moved  to  Newbury,  and  afterward  to  Hampton,  where 
he  died.  After  his  decease  she  returned  to  Watertown,  andm. 
third  Roger  Porter,  who  embarked  from  Southampton,  1638. 
He  was  selectman  in  Watertown,  1648;  d.  in  Watertown,  April 
3,  1654.  His  widow,  Grace  Porter,  d.  June  3,  1662.  Her  will, 
proved  June  17,  1662,  mentions  two  children,  Elizabeth,  wife  of 
Daniel  Smith,  and  Martha,  wife  of  Capt.  John  Sherman,  and  her 
brother,  John  Coolidge,  who  was  one  of  the  earliest  proprietors 
of  Watertown.  The  Coolidge  family  were  settled  in  Cambridge, 
England,  from  a  very  remote  period.  In  the  time  of  Henry  VIII. 
the  family  were  seated  in  Arrington,  and,  judging  from  their  wills, 
were  of  wealth  and  great  respectability. 

Grant. — Christopher    Grant,    b.    1608-10;     m.    Mary    . 

He  d.  Sept.  6,  1685.  They  were  found  among  the  early  settlers

borders  of  Fresh  Pond.  His  homestall  of  five  acres  was  opposite 
Mount  Auburn  Cemetery.     Inventory,  dated  Oct.  5,  1685,  £296.

Their  daughter,  Mary  Grant,  m.  Feb.  22,  1667-8,  Daniel  Smith, 
Jr.,  son  of  Daniel  and  Elizabeth  (Rogers)  Smith. 

CoMEE. — David  Comee  settled  in  Woburn,  Mass.,  1663;  moved 

to  Concord,  Mass.,  1664;  m.  Elizabeth .     She  d.  in  Concord, 

March  4,  1671. 

David  Comee  was  killed  in  the  fight  with  Indians,  battle  of 
Sudbury,  King  Philip's  War,  April  21,  1676.  Inventory,  £87.14. 
He  came  from  Scotland  on  the  "John  and  Sarah"  of  London, 
Nov.  8,  1651.  Ship  reached  Charlestown,  Mass.,  1652.  He  was 
descended  from  the  ancient  clan  of  Mcintosh,  celebrated  in 
1661-3,  and  also  from  the  traditional  MacDuff,  who  overthrew 
Macbeth  in  1057. 

John  Comee,  son  of  David  and  Elizabeth  Comee,  was  a  farmer, 
and  moved  from  Concord  to  Cambridge  Farms  (now  Lexington) 
between  1689  and  1693.  He  was  taxed  to  pay  the  minister  in 
the  latter  place,  and  also  for  the  purchase  of  the  ministerial  land, 
1693.  In  1697  he  was  on  a  committee  to  look  after  that  land,  and 
in  1711  was  a  subscriber  to  pay  for  the  land  purchased  for  a  com- 
mon. He  m.  Jan.  21,  1688,  Martha  Munroe,  b.  Nov.  2,  1667, 
eldest  daugher  of  William  and  Martha  Munroe.  She  d.  in  Lex- 
ington, April  13,  1729,  aged  sixty-two.  He  d.  in  Lexington,  Dec. 
6,  1729,  aged  sixty-four.  They  had  seven  children  born  in  Lex- 
ington, dates  of  birth  not  recorded.  The  seventh  child,  Abigail 
Comee,  m.  Jonas  Peirce. 

Munroe. — William  Munroe  was  b.  in  Scotland,  1625,  and  was 
descended  from  the  Munroe  clan  in  Scotland.  He  came  to  America 
in  1652,  and  settled  in  Cambridge  Farms  (now  Lexington)  about 
1660,  in  the  north-easterly  part  of  the  town  bordering  on  Woburn. 
His  house  was  on  what  is  now  called  Woburn  Street.  Several 
of  his  sons  settled  near  him  or  with  him,  and  it  was  said  his  old 
house  looked  like  a  rope-walk,  so  many  additions  had  been  made
